Puglia is a region of Italy which occupies the heel of the boot in south Eastern Italy. Provinces include Foggia, around which the flat plains are known for the production of wheat, Bari, Brindisi, Ionio and Lecce. Another major town is Taranto. It is a wine producing area, the produce of which is generally used for blending as the quality is not high. The region has an ideal climate for growing peppers, olives, tomatoes and fennel, which appear in much of the cuisine, and, of course, with 440 miles of coastline, seafood plays a major part.
